area as we head through a stormy pattern that doesn't let up until next week. your full forecast is just a few moments away. and fog starting to build across the bay area. bay bridge toll plaza lights are on. i'm anthony slaughter in for mike inouye, getting you up to speed with your traffic. >> at least we get a chance to enjoy the clear day as we take a clear live look at san jose this morning. it's tuesday, november 27th. this is "today in the bay." good morning, thanks for joining us. i'm laura garcia-cannon. >> and i'm jon kelley. good morning, everybody. this morning we are watching that weather as the bay area digs in for a series of storms. take a live look right now at san francisco. you can see some of those clouds hanging there. the bulk of that wind and rain will hit tomorrow, but as you can see, plenty of fog today. this morning we've got you covered. we have a team in place to give you a look at what you'll be facing when you head out that

door. anthony slaughter is looking at your commute. meteorologist christina loren has your forecast. but we start things off with monte francis, who is live in san anselmo where creeks and rivers are at risk of flooding big-time. monte, good morning. >> reporter: well, jon, good morning. that's right, here in san anselmo they are always ready for a big storm. that's because there's a creek that runs through the center of town and it has been known to flood so the city has made sandbags and sand available to residents free of charge in preparation for the storm which is expected to start tomorrow. last time there was a problem with flooding here was in 2008, but the real devastating flood was in december of 2005 when the san anselmo creek flooded the streets of downtown san anselmo and many local businesses were under water. the reason this next storm is a concern here is because here in the north bay they're expecting 4 inches of rain during a matter of several days and those are exactly the kinds of conditions that can be trouble for san anselmo. the town is doing what it can do to prepare. storm drains have been cleared and city crews are ready to keep

those clear once the rain starts tomorrow of the the downtown businesses don't have the sand bags out just yet, though we do expect that to change later today. live in san anselmo, monte francis, "today in the bay." stormy weather will be widespread throughout the bay area. let's continue our coverage now with meteorologist christina loren. >> yeah, we usually don't get all that much rain here in the south bay because we are under the rain shadow of the santa cruz mountains. well, that's not going to be the case as we see the series of storms move on shore the next four to five days. this morning, the fog is not as thick as it was yesterday. still we have ceilings low enough to force flight delays out of sfo. what i can tell you is today is relatively, i'm going to say relatively your last dry day because it depends on where you are in the bay area. i think some showers will come down over the north bay throughout the day today but nothing like we're expecting tomorrow. 64 inland today, 62 bayside, at the coast 62 degrees. when we meet back tomorrow

morning this is what we'll be tracking, a lot of rain on the way to the bay area. right at 6:00 a.m. this storm system will impact us all the way through the first part of tomorrow an then we have two more systems on its heels. so we'll take you through the forecast. first we want to get you to work on time this morning. mike has the day off. introducing, anthony slaughter. >> thank you, thank you, noah, thank you. wow, lots of rain headed our way. we are talking about fog this morning and we are still talking about the bay bridge toll plaza. lights are on and look at this congestion, it is bagged up. the good news, at the bridge we don't have much fog to talk about. once you get past the toll plaza, the fog does come and it's not going to help. christina is our weather girl, we'll leave it up to her. let's talk more about these maps. you can see also down into 101, the south bay, san jose, you can see traffic is moving right along there. also one quick note, the

milpitas area, there is some police activity right around escuela and jacklin and we're starting to see a little more congestion in this specific location. not on the highways but some of the side streets, you'll notice some of the yellow and red as folks are trying to get around that activity. otherwise, the good news, no major accidents to report on this morning. i'm keep my fingers crossed. in regards to that activity in milpitas, it's developing news we're following this morning where an armed suspect is still on the loose in milpitas. officers say he allegedly shot at them following a traffic stop. bob redell joins us live in milpitas with what they have learned so far. bob? >> reporter: well, good morning to you, laura. it's hard to tell what they have learned. we know they're throwing a lot of resources into this investigation. there's several police officers, they have also called their brothers and sisters from milpitas fire to provide light for this scene here to investigate the shooting that took place here at jacklin near escuela parkway a little before 2:00 this morning.

milpitas police investigating a shooting involving one of their officers. we believe that that person is okay. chp confirms that law enforcement is looking for a suspect, someone who fled the scene. now, based on the number of bullet casings we were able to spot on the ground, we saw at least three or four, so we believe that that's how many shots at least were fired. it's not clear who did the shooting. were both sides shooting at each other or just one side versus the other. as far as traffic is concerned, jacklin road is shut down between campbell and arizona. so you're looking at several block stretch which is a main artery through -- jacklin is a main artery here through milpitas, so if you have business out here, keep that in mind. you are going to have to detour. we expect that locally this is going to have an impact on traffic here in milpitas. reporting live here in milpitas, bob redell, "today in the bay." and new this morning, in just the past 30 minutes a police standoff on treasure

island has ended. san francisco police had a man with a gun cornered overnight on the rocks on the western shoreline there. this all started in the city when officers were tipped off to a car running through red lights near bush and mason streets. >> the police department received a 911 call indicating that a man in a white sedan was armed and that the vehicle was stolen. >> we can tell you that suspect fired a gun at officers before taking off across the bay bridge to treasure island. police closed all of the access to and from the island. officers say traffic on that bay bridge was not affected by the situation. we can tell you also no officers were hurt in the standoff. 6:07. does your risk of breast cancer depend on where you live? a new study shows higher than average rates of the disease in certain bay area counties. marla tellez joins us in our newsroom this morning. marla, we understand two local areas, 10% to 20% higher than

the state average for breast cancer. quite alarming. >> reporter: laura, those two local areas make up two pretty big regions in the bay area. we're talking about some of the peninsula, south bay and east bay, also a large chunk of the north bay. this map here helps break it down. the california breast cancer mapping project found portions of san mateo, santa clara and alameda counties had breast cancer rates that were 10% to 20% higher than the state average from 2000 to 2008. these higher-than-average rates were also found in slices of sonoma, napa and solano counties. however, the study does not list a cause for these rates, but it's long been known breast cancer risk factors include everything from drinking alcohol daily to taking certain hormone replacements. and this behavior tends to be common among higher income women, which, of course, the bay area does have. still, the study does not say this correlation is in fact the cause of the higher breast cancer rates that we're seeing in the study.

so if you're a woman living in the bay area, what do you make of the study? first of all, don't forget breast cancer can be genetic and doctors also worry about certain environmental factors. more reasons for us women to practice good breast care and that includes staying current on our mammograms. jon. >> thank you very much. very important information there. 6:08. cracking down now on aggressive panhandlers. this morning the city of martinez is panning where, when and how people can beg for your money. the city council says panhandlers can not intimidate or force somebody to hand over money. blocking someone's path or following someone who has refused to hand over money also banned. panhandling is not allowed within 10 feet of intersections, highway exits and on-ramps. police can hand out tickets, but they can't arrest somebody for breaking the rules. taking a shot at birds. today san jose could change the rules about who can fire at birds to clear them from air fields. san jose international airport says it is trying to crack down on a deadly danger to planes.

since 2009 the airport has had 180 bird strikes. airport management says right now only police and military officers can shoot at the birds at the airport. they're hoping the city council will change that code to allow trained operations staff and contracted biologists to shoot the birds. the airport says blanks are usually used to shoot at birds. san jose city council will address that issue at a meeting this afternoon. it is 6:09 right now. coming up, confidential files shredded and thrown into the air as conconfetti. the investigation into how mitt romney's motorcade route was strewn through the streets during the macy's thanksgiving day parade. plus why you don't want to be on the cover of "time" magazine as person of the year. plus crisis in egypt. the political power play that is sparking the largest protests so far this week just ahead. ♪

welcome back now, the time is 6:12 on a tuesday morning. thick fog making an appearance yet again this morning in san rafael and over the greater bay area. make sure you give yourselves plenty of time. we have a lot of moisture in the area as three storm systems approach the coast. we will time that out for you and tell you who might just get 5 inches of rain coming up. back to you guys. >> thank you, christina. 6:twech 6:12. tahrir square once again the epicenter of political protests in cairo, egypt. protesters are gathering there for a massive demonstration against president mohammed morsy. it was less than a week ago he was hailed as a hero for helping broker a cease-fire but just days later he surprised everyone

by awarding himself sweeping new powers back home in egypt. that triggered a wave of violence in the streets. he says the new powers are authori authoritarian. overnight protesters clashed with police. a handful of protesters throwing rocks at authorities who responded with tear gas. so far two are dead, more than 500 injured, including at least 160 policemen. meantime, laura, in the west bank a very interesting story here. scientists right now studying the remains of the late palestinian leader yasser arafat. forensic experts are looking for more clues on the exact cause of his death. arafat died back in 2004 after suddenly becoming ill on what was initially believed to be caused by a stroke. now, this investigation was sparked over findings of radioactive material on his clothes. some believe he may have been

poisoned. many palestinians believe arafat was assassinated by the israeli government, which it denies. 6:14. here's a quick check of the day's top stories. walmart says a garment factory in bangladesh that caught fire killing 112 people had been making clothes for the giant retailer without its knowledge. walmart says the factory was no longer authorized to make merchandise for the company. the building that caught fire had no emergency exits. the fbi says one of the its most wanted fugitives could be hiding in plain sight in the mormon community. 43-year-old jason brown accused of killing an arizona armored truck courier back in 2004. the "new york post" reports a third man claims he had sex with elmo puppeteer kevin clash while he was a teenager. a lawsuit will be filed today in manhattan federal court. lawyers say they will release excerpts the client's memoir

about the relationship as proof. right now it is 6:15. let's check in with scott mcgrew, our business and tech guy. what's happening, scott? >> reporter: good morning to you. one of the things theilicon valley is talking about is the potential that yahoo!'s ceo, marissa mayer, is a serious candidate for the cover of this year's "time" magazine person of the year. you can actually vote for her online if you wish. here's the website from "time" magazine. your two options there are pretty extreme. you can vote definitely or no way. cnbc's bertha coombs does point out being person of the year can be a curse. amazon.com's stocks stalled after jeff bazel got the cover years ago. mayer has been ceo at yahoo! for four months now. yesterday yahoo! stock crossed $19 a share for the first time since 2010. nothing specific really driving that stock other than maybe an overall confidence in her leadership. that may be worth a few more dollars to the overall share price. the other stock to watch is

facebook. facebook gained 8% monday after a leading analyst upgraded that stock. in an unrelated matter, facebook will reportedly consider revoking its system where facebook users get to vote yes or no on changes to their privacy policy. facebook has an unusual system where even the decision to revoke the user vote is put up for a vote by users. a number of companies are handing out early christmas gifts in the form of dividends. why? because of the potential tax hikes ahead. right now a dividend is taxed at 15% max. that could double if certain tax laws expire at the end of the year. keep in mind, if we go over the fiscal cliff, taxes go up. but in order to avoid the fiscal cliff, it's likely washington would have to raise taxes anyway. so anyway dividends now are better than dividends later. >> interesting to see how this is all going to play out. thanks, scott. >> giving money for christmas is

always easier than shopping and standing in line. thank you very much. well, investigators right now trying to figure out exactly how shreds of sensitive documents ended up being tossed out as confetti during the recent macy's thanksgiving day parade. spectators in new york city last thursday noticed some of that confetti included social security and license plate numbers. that's not good. some even found notes about mitt romney's police motorcade when he visited new york last month. the debris didn't really bother santa too much but it appears to have originated from the police department in long island. >> i guess they looked like pretty big pieces of confetti. >> let me see what's on there. >> read the fine print. all right, read the forecast for us, meteorologist christina loren. >> lots to read. it's a good read this time of year. good morning touchlt ye you. yeah, thanks for waking up with us this morning. as you know whenever it gets stormy around here, i am all over it. we're not expecting heavier showers until tomorrow morning.

i want to start with this live picture at the embarcadero. the fog is not as thick and you can see the surface this morning. our sun will rise at 7:01. as you can see visibilities have come up quite a bit. we're at a mile and three-quarters in livermore and everywhere else you've got two miles or better, so that's good news. our atmosphere is getting stirred up by an area of low pressure. we're going to get a little bit of prefrontal precipitation. we stop the clock at 10:00, you can see showers starting to skirt the coastline. not expecting much, though, for today. that doesn't happen until we wake up and meet back here tomorrow morning. look at this, i stop the clock at 5:00 a.m. you start to get the moderate bands, heavier bands of rain pushing onshore. that will continue as we progress throughout the morning commute. by noon tomorrow we'll see the first system let up just a little bit. enough for you to get outdoors a couple of hours. then at 7:00 p.m., it starts to get active yet again. the winds will increase and we get our next storm system on thursday. the next storm system will mostly impact the north bay.

that's where we're expecting the heavier rain, hence the larger totals the next couple days. but still, the friday system is the one that i'm the most concerned about. the first system that comes through on wednesday will be a wind event. friday system will be a rain event. we're not even done with the rain at this point. almost 6 inches expected in places like fairfield, napa and even here in the south bay in san jose we're expecting over 4 inches and a quarter, that's certainly enough for flooding because all this rain will come down very quickly so keep that in mind. especially if you take the little ones to school, plan on giving yourself extra time the next couple days. wednesday and friday look the worst during the morning commute. 64 degrees in livermore, 63 in fremont and 64 in redwood city. something else to keep in mind is our grounds are going to be saturated before that friday system comes through. that too will have some gusty winds and that means we could see downed trees. those trees could take out power lines. we could see isolated power

outages, so keep that in the back of your mind. we are going to see a little improvement friday through saturday. another system swings through sunday into monday. finally starting to see that jetstream move back up to the north. that's the good news for us. it will start to dry out a little bit and that jetstream comes right back next week. just plan on a wet, windy pattern at least through the next 72 hours. 6:20, let's check on your drive. good morning, anthony. >> good morning. i've got my checklist ready. umbrellas, candles, flashlights, i'm ready for this rain. all right, we are talking about this fog this morning. you can see san rafael at 101 heading into san francisco. you'll notice the fog is thick there and that's where we're finding the thickest pockets in the north bay. let's get over to the bay bridge toll plaza and you'll notice the lights are on and, yes, the congestion is there as well. fog not too bad approaching the bay bridge but once you get onto the bridge it is really bad. remember, don't turn on the super brights because that's what's makes it a little worse. that's what i was getting at, the refracting of the light

earlier. >> the high beams. >> right. otherwise looking at the traffic maps, there is an accident on 80 at 4 and that is slowing things once you approach the bay bridge. of course as we've been telling you about the fog in the north bay keeping things slow. also speaking of low, the altamont pass has slowed at 580 heading into livermore, but otherwise no major accidents on 580. there was one that was just cleared so that's probably why we're seeing an extensive amount of backup. otherwise, nothing major to report as of right now. laura and jon, back to you. >> thanks so much. 6:21. much more ahead on "today in the bay." coming up, nothing left to fear in the bullpen. we'll tell you why the beard might get shaved from the giants roster just ahead. ♪

we go from fearing the beard to a feel-good football story. a local football team attracting national attention with this inspiring story. >> bottom line, the playbooks are the same. it's just we can't hear. >> well, this is video posted online by "sports illustrated" profiling the football team at fremont california school for the deaf. the team is celebrating its best record ever, ten wins against a mere two losses. more impressive, they did it with only 19 players. a lot of them have to play both offense and defense, so they do the double duty job. today the school finds out if it's going to receive a special award that would go along with a $25,000 grant. this will happen at "sports illustrated" sportsman of the year ceremony. the eagles are up against nine other teams for the honor, so good luck to the eagles and congratulations on a great season. >> that is my favorite story of the morning right there. that's fantastic. 6:26 right now. let's check that forecast

avoiding a freefall. lawmakers go straight ahead on capitol hill but will it be fast enough to keep from diving off a fiscal cliff. right now we take you to wall street. that is happening right now. scott mcgrew says yahoo! and facebook up already today. some good news happening out there as we ring in the day. it is tuesday, november 27th. this is "today in the bay." good tuesday morning to you. thanks for joining us. i'm laura garcia-cannon. >> and i'm jon kelley. good morning, everybody. we have an update to a developing story. we have live pictures right now from milpitas where we are

waiting for a press conference from police who are currently searching for an armed suspect. investigators say a man allegedly shot at an officer after being pulled over. that officer fortunately was not hurt and he was able to return fire there. the suspect was last seen near jacklin road and escuela parkway. several nearby roadways remain blocked off and bob redell is live at the scene. we'll have an update in about 20 minutes from right now. the fiscal cliff still on the horizon as the house returns from its holiday break on capitol hill today. fiscal cliff is a series of tax increases and spending cuts that kick in at the ending of the year if congress does not act. at issue, how to get people who earn more than $250,000 to contribute more either by raising taxes or cutting their deductions. tracie potts joins us live in washington, d.c., this morning. we've heard some republicans may be willing to back off a pledge not to raise taxes. is that still the case today? >> reporter: it looks like that may be the case, as you said,

for some of them. their party line has been that they don't want to raise taxes on the job creators, but now listen to what some republicans are saying about bringing in more revenue. >> we've been open to revenue by closing loop holds as long as it's tied to spending cuts and pro growth tax reform that broadens the base and lowers rates. >> don't raise rates, you just cap the amount of itemized deductions that taxpayers -- it hits the wealthy. >> reporter: so bottom line here, it looks like they may be hinting, laura, that there could be some compromise. yes, we can raise more money for the government to work with, but not by raising rates, perhaps by making it more difficult for people to get those deductions and take advantage of those loopholes that are now in the law. >> well, we know today that president obama meets with small business leaders. what does the white house think will happen to the middle class if that deal isn't reached? >> reporter: well, the white house is concerned about the spending power of the middle class. they came out with a report

yesterday that essentially said consumer spending is going to take a $200 billion hit if we don't get away from this fiscal cliff, if we don't pass these tax rates. in other words, the extra $2200 that they calculate every middle class family is going to have to pay in taxes next year is $2200 less that they'll have to spend and boost the economy. >> exactly. everyone might turn a little more conservative with their spending, at least this holiday season. whose side do you think the public is on? >> reporter: well, it depends on who you ask. now, there is a new survey out that says 65% of the public agrees with republicans saying we shouldn't raise tax rates, we should instead close up these loopholes and limit tax deductions. but keep in mind the winston group is also headed by david winston, who's a gop operative. very close to speaker boehner. so you have to watch these public opinion surveys because obviously sometimes the groups

by whom they're done have an interest in what the outcome is. >> we know the president spoke with boehner this weekend, they decided to keep that under wraps. when does the president meet with congressional leaders again? >> reporter: we don't know. they had that one meeting before thanksgiving. they were supposed to do it again sometime this week. hasn't been scheduled yet. >> got to roll up the sleeves, crunch the numbers, get it done. also this morning on capitol hill, u.n. ambassador susan rice is all set to answer pretty tough questions about her comments on those terror attacks in benghazi. rice initially called the attack on the u.s. consulate a spontaneous event over an anti-islam movie. now, recent declassified intelligence reports now calling the attacks an act of terror. four americans died, including bay area native u.s. ambassador chris stevens. rice is considered a front runner to replace hillary clinton as secretary of state. 6:34. 34 years after their assassination, san francisco mayor george musconi and

that is not causing any slowdowns on the highway. in the east bay we have a couple of accidents on 880. one at mowery and another at auto paul pamall parkway on the southbound side causing slowdowns all the way through san lorenzo. the altamont pass also very slow but otherwise the two accidents in the east bay keeping 880 slow. just allow a little extra time if that's your route this morning. back to you. 6:36. still ahead, surviving a sex abuse scandal at penn state. what investigators are calling for to make sure it never happens again. also, does your spot on the map pinpoint you for higher risk of breast cancer? what a new study is finding out about cancer rates in bay area cities. we'll have that and more just ahead. ♪ we were skipping stones and letting go ♪

>> reporter: hello, good morning. there's a creek that runs through the middle of town that's known to flood and that's why people here are so concerned so the city of san anselmo is giving out free sandbags and also sand so residents here can prepare. the last time there was a problem with flooding was in 2008 but the real devastating flood was in december of 2005 when the san anselmo creek flooded the streets and many local businesses were under water. now, the reason this next storm is a concern here is because in the north bay they are expecting 4 inches of rain during a matter of several days and those are exactly the kinds of conditions that can spell trouble for san anselmo. the town is doing what it can to prepare. storm drains have been cleared and city crews are ready to keep them clear once the rain starts tomorrow. this morning we talked to one resident who had a landslide on his property last year and he told us what he's doing to prepare. >> this is just lovy and every place has problems, it could be snow or something else so the rain is part of this. we definitely need the rain, but

you've got to prepare for it. you see a lot of people that don't clean their gutters. i'm amazed. >> reporter: and the downtown businesses here in san anselmo don't have the sandbags out just yet but we certainly expect that to change later today. live in san anselmo, monte francis, "today in the bay." >> the rain when it hits, especially in the north bay, right? >> yeah, especially in the north bay but everywhere. we're going to see a lot of rain everywhere. good morning to you. we want to thank you for waking up with us each and ever owe morning. we are trying to stay two steps ahead of this storm system. every time i check more and more rain is headed our way. if everything times out properly and if the system ends up where we're expecting it to, we could pick up to 5 inches of rain over parts of the bay area. this morning visibility is not as bad. what happened is the jetstream has taken a significant drop to the south and basically that opens up the storm window, so storm after storm after storm coming through the bay area as we head throughout the next few

days. it all works out like this. we stop the clock on your futurecast about 11:00 a.m. we'll see a little prefrontal precipitation especially up in the north bay, but we'll stay mostly dry today. we stop it at 8:00 p.m., nice, dry day on tap and everything changes as we get into tomorrow morning. ahead of the front we'll see really gusty winds pick up but the windiest time frame is going to be between mid-morning hours and late morning hours tomorrow afternoon so keep that in mind. mid-morning to late afternoon tomorrow. 8:00 a.m. we stop the clock and you can see getting quite a bit of moisture areas north of the golden gate bridge. we stop it at noon, starting to lighten up a little bit. then as we head throughout the second half of the day all the way until noon on thursday, showers stay to the north. we'll get a few spotty showers as we head through 3:00 a.m. friday and then things are going to tart to clear out as we head through the second half of your weekend. but look at some of these totals. looking very impressive, especially up in the north bay. seven-day outlook shows you we'll be in this wet, windy

pattern all next week. i'm just trying to stay ahead of these storm systems. what i can tell you is it's going to be active on wednesday. that looks to be the wind event. as we get into your friday, we're talking about the rain event. the heaviest rain will come down on friday. also expecting our ground to be saturated so make shoe you're ready for that. saturday into sunday the third system arrives, the tail end swings through and we'll see light showers. it will let up a little bit for the second half of monday but not after receiving upwards of 5 inches of rain over parts of bay area. 6:47. let's check on your drive with anthony. >> so if my notes read me correct, rain, rain, rain, right? okay. i'll just keep my umbrella handy for the next couple of days. let's talk about the traffic. here is san jose, 101 looking northbound. you'll see traffic is moving but it is congested there. also let's get you up into the east bay on fremont 880. you'll notice traffic still moving but there are a couple of accidents on 880 southbound that are slowing things just a bit. also the bay bridge toll plaza is slow. congestion there. the good news, fog not a huge

issue. one last stop will take us to the north bay and this is where we're seeing visibility the worst. san rafael, this is 101 heading into san francisco. you'll notice lots of lights there and the fog is more of an issue in that specific location. our final stop, we'll show you those two accidents on the east bay maps. you'll notice for yourself that -- actually we're not going to take a look at that. all right, that's all i've got. back to you guys. milpitas police right now have given us an update to a developing story we've been following all morning long. parts of that city still blocked off as officers conduct what they are calling a significant investigation. bob redell is live at the scene with new information out there. bob, what's going on? >> reporter: good morning to you, jon. we just learned more about the circumstances surrounding this officer-involved shooting. it took place not far from here at the intersection of jacklin road and escuela parkway. there's a huge part of jacklin

still shut down. here's what happened. around 1:50 this morning, just before 2:00, an officer tried to pull over a car here near this intersection for a moving violation. now, when the stop took place, the driver of the car came out and started firing at this officer. the officer returned fire back. the officer is not sure if that person was hit, but the person did take off in the car and they are still looking for the person. the officer was not shot but did suffer mine injuries from what wasn't clear. they were treated on the scene and that person is okay. so right now you've got the investigation continuing out here. the police department is not releasing information on the car description nor any information on the suspect. they say, though, they could maybe a little later release the information. when we asked them why, they said it's part of our investigation. we have a continuing investigation. we're just not releasing this information yet for whatever reason, those reasons are.

if you do have business through here, remember jacklin road is shut down between campbell and arizona. it's a good several blocks. it's a main artery here in milpitas and also near milpitas high and some other schools. so if you have kids that need to get to class or if you're trying to get to your job, just keep in mind this could be shut down. their eta they're not sure but we suspect based on our conversation with them it could be a few more hours. again, an officer-involved shooting. they're calling it the attempted murder of a police officer as an officer was pulling over a driver, was shot at, returned fire. the officer is okay. the condition of the suspect, unknown. bob redell, "today in the bay." new this morning, a police standoff on treasure island is now over. overnight san francisco police cornered a man with a gun on the rocks at the western shoreline. officers say he had been threatening to kill himself. it all started at blec11:00 las night when officers tried to

stop a car running red lights near bush and native san francisco -- mason in san francisco. officers say the car the suspect was driving had been stolen. the standoff lasted for hours, finally ending at 5:45 this morning. again, that standoff is now over. the 15-year-old suspect linked to a san jose crime spree could appear in court as early as today. authorities caught the san jose teen in concord on friday after a week on the run. the suspect being linked to last week's killing of a young man during a carjacking in a 7-eleven parking lot and the attempted killing of a police officer. the suspect's name not being released because of his age and no word yet on whether or not he will be tried as an adult. the other suspect in custody right now, 26-year-old jonathan wilbanks, facing multiple charges with special circumstances. we now know a woman accused of driving with a dying man on the hood of her car for more than two miles once worked as a

drug and alcohol counselor. sherri wilkins is accused of driving under the influence when she plowed into the 31-year-old man in torrance. wilkins drove with him on the hood until other drivers persuaded her to stop. wilkins is expected to make her first court appearance today. south of crescent city the search for a teen swept out to sea is now officially over. rescue crews calling off that search last night for the 16-year-old boy whose parents were killed after plunging into a powerful surf out there trying to save the family dog from drowning. state park officials say the boy was initially able to get out of the water safely, but then went back into the water to search for his father. that boy now is unfortunately presumed dead. the boy's girlfriend and his sister, they were watching that tragedy unfold from the shore. the dog did manage to survive. 6:53. bay area breast cancer rates are on the rise. according to a new study released overnight, and as the

research shows the numbers are causing concern especially in the south bay. marla tellez is in the newsroom with a look. >> reporter: laura, good morning. 10% to 20% higher, those are the numbers that are causing concern when it comes to breast cancer rates in the bay area, specifically the california breast cancer mapping project found portions of san mateo, santa clara and alameda counties had breast cancer rates that were 10% to 20% higher than the state average from 2000 to 2008. high rates were often found in portions of sonoma, napa and solano counties. however, the study does not name a cause for these higher rates, but it's long been known breast cancer risk factors include behaviors that tend to know common among higher income women, such as taking certain hormone replacements or having no children or few children later in life. yes, of course there are higher income women living in the bay area, but this is simply a correlation, not a direct cause.

it's also worth mentioning here these elevated rates were found in portions of southern california, including ventura and los angeles counties. the study, which was actually funded by a group out of oakland, recommends the affected communities take this information and use it to explore what resources and services they need to address the rise. it also suggests avenues for future research. happening right now, tahrir square once again the epicenter of political protests in cairo, egypt. protesters gathering there for a massive demonstration against president mohamed morsi. now, if you recall just less than a week ago, morsi was being hailed as a hero for helping broker a cease-fire between israel and hamas. days later he surprised just about everybody awarding himself sweeping new powers back home in egypt that triggered a wave of violence out in the streets. critics say the new powers are authoritarian. supporters say morsi had to act

to t to rein in egypt's powerful judges who are accused of stalling the transition to democracy. overnight protesters clashing with police there. a handful of protesters throwing rocks at authorities, who responded with tear gas. so far two are dead and more than 500 injured, including at least 160 police. today at noon outside the marine corps recruiting center in berkeley, protesters will gather in solidarity with wikileaks whistleblower bradley manning. the army private will testify today during a pretrial hearing at ft. meade. he's trying to avoid a trial by claiming he has already been punished enough by being locked up alone in a small cell and having to sleep naked for several nights. manning is charged with the biggest security breach in u.s. history by sending hundreds of thousands of classified war logs and tables to the website

wikileaks. 6:56 right now. the head of the israeli army social efforts now under fire this morning after appearing online in black face. >> scott mcgrew joins us. social networking has been very important to the israelis as they fight hamas. >> yes, it has. we were talking about how the israeli defense force was using twitter and youtube and facebook to generate support in ways we had never seen before during war time but this picture is doing just the opposite. this is the idf spokesman on facebook having smeared his face with mud. now, it's the caption he wrote, "obama style" that is causing the controversy. he has since taken his facebook pictures private. one commenter asked if it's appropriate for the army spokesperson to mock the president of the united states, considering how much money the u.s. sends to israel. now, some context, this picture apparently taken at the dead sea some months ago and based on comments, it's fairly common practice, apparently, to cake

yourself with mud as a therapeutic practice. it's his reference to president obama that critics say turns that picture from muddy to black face, a practice in american eyes that's racist and degrading. back to you. >> look how many people have seen it. all right, thank you very much. 6:57. let's get one last check with meteorologist christina loren to find out what she'll be facing in the days to come. good morning. >> good morning to you, jon and laura. good morning to you at home. today we'll see the 60s. 64 inland, clouds increasing throughout the day. 62 bayside and at the coast. your weather headlines really tell the story. we're going to see a little sunshine early. those clouds will thicken up the second half of your afternoon. wednesday, the first storm system arrives. we'll be tracking those showers. when we meet back here tomorrow morning we're talking about rain and very gusty winds. i think the first system will be more of a wind event than a rain event. we get our rain event from the second system that rolls through here on friday. we're talking about the potential of accumulating upwards of 5 inches of rain in

parts of the bay area. take a look at these impressive totals. we'll be here tomorrow to guide you through it. 6:58. let's take one more look at your drive with anthony slaughter. >> lots of rain headed your way. we're talking about heavy traffic along the bay bridge toll plaza. the fog not too bad in that location but let's take you to the maps and north of the bay bridge we are starting to see congestion right around pet lala down towards novato. also the east bay two accidents one at mowery and auto mall parkway is seeing slowdowns at 880 and the altamont pass remains slow. otherwise no major accidents to report at this hour. >> thank you, anthony. 6:58. one final check of the day's top stories. president obama is meeting with small business owners today about the so-called fiscal cliff. the white house will also take up the issue today during its first day back from the holiday break. also today, san jose international airport asking the city council to change the rules about who can shoot at birds to clear them from air fields.
